our world is flooded by GM food, but what can we do? there are organic food around too but they’re very expensive and rare, its inevitable.

it’s not so often to talk about where the food is coming from or who mekes it. I think it’s time to began to worry about it because it’s our health which is at stake.

Hey guys, nice topic!

It’s amazing – I’ve just recently read about this Monsanto company and about all the harm they’ve caused (that has been revealed) and I thought how horrible it is to treat food and products like another business and really not care about the concequences it may cause! I’m trying to be optimistic and think about all the government policies and measures that are (hopefully) done to prevent people form getting this terrible food (if we can call it “food”) – but more and more I see it’s not true. I shop carefully, always read the “back side” of the product – and not for the calories,but for the ingredients. Unfortunately, I take it – sometimes the GM ingredients aren’t there because the manufacturer didn’t write that information, of course they’ll try to conseal it. I want to believe that with this global uproar against GM products food industry will stop cutting costs on our health — what can be more precious than your own health?! — and start giving us food without the “organic” label. It should be organic without any further doubt.

Thanks you, guys, for covering such an interesting topic. Here in Moscow I can see that common people do not really care about what they actually eat. After reading your current blog I’ve asked some of my co-workers and my friends what do they think about all that GMO thing, most of them answered like: Well, I know such a thing exists, I heard either good stuff about it or bad, but I don’t actually care, do they really sell GMO products in Russia?

Fortunately, we don’t grow GMO crops in Russia so far if what official statistics said is true, but still we do have GMO products on the shelves of our supermarkets as they have a lot of GMO food stuff imported into Russia.

The most embarassing point for me is that our food manufacturers or re-sellers are not forced by law to have special GMO mark on that frankenfood.

I also read on the Internet, that GMO fruit and vegetables are sterile: they grow and are eaten, but they don’t raise up seed.GMO growing farmers become sort of drug-addicts: first dose of seeds is for free, then you should pay license charge. Farmers can’t keep some of the seeds for the next year as they got spoiled by that time. If that’s really how the things are, farmers (or even countries in the worst case) become very dependable on GMO seeds’ sellers (it seem to be very little more of them in the whole world). It’s very dangerous from the economical and political point of view either.
I even heard that if a natural (not GMO) plant was fertilized by GMO blossom dust it even would become sterile.
I’ve found on the Internet that Brazilia and Argentina already lost their seed reserves of some crops for GMO seeds, I so hope that it won’t happen to my country!

In my country selling GMO seeds is allowed from 28.01.2013 so this is really current problem. A big plus is that the media inform people what exactly GMO is and what bad effects brings this food. GMO is really huge problem because, as you said the producers don’t have to put labels on the product. The concequences for customers are terrible- we don’t really know what we eat and we haven’t any choice!However, there is some way to protect yourself from this ugly food because most of GMO products are sold in big supermarkets. To have any control what we eating, we can buy vegetables, fruits and meat from local farmers. In Poland many people have little gardens to grow vegetables and fruits only for own family and friends. This products are smaller and not super perfect than food from supermarkets but for sure are healthier and tasting much better.

Hello guys, thanks you for this topic. You know I think that in this modern world a lot of people have heard about it. And they know that it’s might be dangerous, but they don’t know enough about product which they buy. Actually I really don’t know am I eating GMO product or not. And it’s really ridiculous, that GMO Company won this battle. I think that consumer should to know about is the product he buy consist GMO or not. It’s sad that we even can’t influence to this situation. And if I want to eat only health food without GMO it’s early difficult to do, because you might not be 100% correct whether or not this GMO food.

It’s quite beneficial article. I have gained a great deal of useful information from this article. No one can argue that the healthy food is one of the most significant concern for human beings. As a sequence it’s essential that governments put rules to prevent these companies which produce these crops.
